IWSA collects personal data about our members, supporters, event attendees, the children and families we advise and support, and professionals and volunteers at organizations we work with.
We will not sell, distribute or lease your personal information to third parties unless we have your permission or are required by law to do so. We may use your personal information to send you information that we think you may find of interest. IWSA may change this policy from time to time by updating this page.

We require this information to understand your needs and to respond appropriately and in particular for the following reasons:
We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure.

We have applied physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
A cookie is a small file that asks permission to be placed on your computer's hard drive. We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used.

We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system.
Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us.
You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you from experiencing full advantage of the website.
Our website may contain links to other websites of interest. However, once you use these links to leave our site, you should note that we do not have any control over other websites. Therefore, we cannot be responsible for the protection and/or privacy of any information that you provide while visiting such sites and such sites are not governed by this privacy statement.

We will promptly correct information according to your direction/instruction.
The IWSA occasionally produces surveys through a platform called Survey Monkey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/mp/policy/security/
These surveys are designed to be anonymous. However, respondents should be aware that in responding to surveys they could be disclosing information that could make them personally identifiable to IWSA. Respondents to surveys should be aware that they alone are responsible for the content of their responses.
When you register for or attend one of our events, we use your personal data to send you details and administer the event. We do this on the basis of the ‘contract’ that you have with us. We will also contact you for feedback following the event and we may contact you about similar events in the future. We will add your details to our supporters list and we may contact you by email or postal mail to tell you about our fundraising, volunteering and awareness-raising campaigns. We do this on the basis of our ‘legitimate interest’ as a charity. If you would like to see a fuller explanation, please ask us. We make recordings of our events in the form of audio, video and photographs. We use these on our website, on social media and in our publications. We will always let you know in advance and on the day recordings are made so you can decide not to take part or can inform us in writing to avoid including you in recordings or delete (parts of) ones where accidentally you are identifiable.
